Just days later on Tuesday, Dec. 20, a local coach woke up to his house on fire with him and his family inside. 

The family was able to safely get out, however the flames took the life of their family dog, with their two cats unable to be found. 

Not only did the fire take the precious life of a pet, it took all of their belongings. A fundraiser was created in order to help raise funds for the family to be able to purchase items like clothing and shoes, which they lost in the fire. 

The coach's family needs help clothing two boys, aged 11 and 13, as well as him and his wife. To access the fundraiser for this family, click here.
